Use System.Reflection.Metadata to harvest type info without assembly loading #8139

Closed heaths closed 3 years ago

heaths commented 5 years ago

Sample code if you want to try Reflection.Metadata:

var assemblyPath = @"d:\github\azure\azure-sdk-for-net3\artifacts\bin\Azure.Core\Debug\net461\Azure.Core.dll";
using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead(assemblyPath))
using (PEReader reader = new PEReader(stream))
{
    var mr = reader.GetMetadataReader();
    foreach (var tdh in mr.TypeDefinitions)
    {
        var td = mr.GetTypeDefinition(tdh);
        if ((td.Attributes & TypeAttributes.VisibilityMask) == TypeAttributes.Public)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(mr.GetString(td.Name));
        }
    }
}

Closing this one. I can't even find the script for which this was intended. If it ever comes up again, we can use this other assembly to avoid all the assembly resolution I had to do in-proc using System.Reflection.
